Neuron-specific deletion of the miRNA-processing enzyme DICER induces severe but transient obesity in mice

ABSTRACT: Through post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, miRNAs affect numerous regulatory pathways including those crucial for maintaining metabolic balance. Here we demonstrate that a neuronal-specific inhibition of miRNA maturation in adult mice leads to a rapid development of severe obesity, which is equally rapidly reversed. Development of obesity was associated with increased food intake and efficiency, and decreased locomotor activity. The ensuing decrease in body weight resembled a catabolic state with lowered O2-consumption and respiratory-exchange ratio. Brain transcriptome analyses in obese mice identified several obesity-related pathways including leptin, somatostatin, and nemo-like kinase signaling, as well as genes involved in feeding and appetite (e.g. Pmch, Neurotensin). A cluster of genes involved in synaptic plasticity was specifically enriched in post-obese mice that did not appear in obese mice. While other studies have identified a role for miRNAs in obesity our model is unique in that it allows for the study of processes involved in reversing obesity.

The Epigenome of Spermatozoa is Affected in Obesity and Dynamically Changes after Bariatric Surgery [Lean/Obese MNase]

Project description:Obesity is a heritable disorder, with children of obese fathers at higher risk of developing obesity. Â Environmental factors epigenetically influence somatic tissues, but the contribution of these factors to the establishment of epigenetic patterns in human gametes is unknown. Here, we hypothesized that weight loss remodels the epigenetic signature of spermatozoa in human obesity. Comprehensive profiling of the epigenome of sperm from lean and obese men showed similar histone positioning, but small non-coding RNA expression and DNA methylation patterns were markedly different. In a separate cohort of morbidly obese men, surgery-induced weight loss was associated with a dramatic remodeling of sperm DNA methylation, notably at genetic locations implicated in the central control of appetite. Our data provide evidence that the epigenome of human spermatozoa dynamically changes under environmental pressure, and offers Â insight into how obesity may propagate metabolic dysfunction to the next generation. Examination of the DNA methylation status, histone retention and sncRNA expression of the semen of 13 lean and 10 obese individuals; as well as the DNA methylation status of the semen of 6 obese men undergoing Roux-en-Y GBP surgery, at three time points: approximately 1 week before, 1 week after and 1 year after the surgery.

miRNA expression profile in subcutaneous adipose tissue from morbid obese patients

Project description:To evaluate wether miRNA expression patterns contributes to obesity total RNA were purified from subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT)and used in miRNA microarrays. Platform contain LNA-modified probes for all human miRNAs present in release 8.2 of the miRBase microRNA Registry. Two RNA pools from 3 non obese men (CM) and from 5 non obese women (CW) were used as controls. Expression profiling revealed that a large set of miRNAs is expressed in SAT. Forty two miRNAs changed by at least 1.5 folds in 17/20 obese subjects versus non obese control pool. Particularly, 21/42 were up-regulated and 21/42 were down-regulated. Among the differentially expressed miRNA, miR-519d, miR-498 and miR-150 were up-regulated, miR-659 and miR-371-3p_MM2 were down-regulated consistently in 20/20 obese subjects. To search for miRNAs eventually associated with obesity we used a microarray to evaluate the expression of 1458 different miRNAs in 10 obese women (OBW) and 10 obese men (OBM). Two RNA pools from 3 non obese men (CM) and from 5 non obese women (CW) were used as controls.

Fat BodFat Body, Hungry Brain: Nutriproteomics in the Hypothalamus from a Mouse Model with Obesity and Anorexiay, Hungry Brain: Nutriproteomics in the Hypothalamus from a Mouse Model with Obesity and Anorexia

Project description:Systemic acute inflammatory signals can cause profound anorexia by disrupting the physiological appetite regulation in the hypothalamic milieu. Conversely, obesity related chronic inflammation of the hypothalamus can disturb anorexigenic signals and promote abnormal body weight control. The aim of the present study was to compare the global hypothalamic endophenotype in C57/Bl6 mice exposed to a high-fat diet or with acute illness mediated by LPS. Ten-week old male C57/Bl6 mice (n=18) were randomly divided into four groups; the control 1 group (n =3) was fed a normal diet whereas the high-fat diet (HFD) group (n =6) was fed a high-fat diet for eight weeks. The control 2 group (n=3) received an intraperitoneal injection of saline whereas the LPS group (n=6) received an intraperitoneal injection of LPS. Mice were sacrificed 18-hr post-injection. Both control 2 and LPS groups were fed a normal diet for eight weeks before the injection. The hypothalamic regions were removed and analysed using a 2D LC-MS methodology. The proteomic analysis profiled 9,235 proteins (q<0.05) across all biological states, of which 522 proteins were found modulated in the HFD group and another 579 in the LPS group. The proteomic profiles demonstrated that the systemic acute inflammation linked with anorexia induced a negative feedback loop of appetite control in the hypothalamus, suggesting an effort to re-establish homeostasis. By contrast, the chronic inflammation associated with obesity initiated a “perpetual cycle” of positive feedback enhancement of appetite regulation further exacerbating positive energy balance.

Targeting mitochondrial reactive oxygen species alleviates allergic airway disease in a mouse model of obese allergic asthma

Project description:Obesity is associated with severe, difficult to control asthma, and increased airway oxidative stress. Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mROS) are an important source of oxidative stress leading us to hypothesize that targeting mROS in obese allergic asthma might be an effective treatment strategy. Using a mouse model of house dust mite (HDM) induced allergic airway disease in mice fed a low- (LFD) or high-fat diet (HFD), and the mitochondrial antioxidant MitoQuinone (MitoQ); we investigated the effects of obesity and mROS on airway inflammation, remodelling and airway hyperreactivity (AHR). HDM induces airway inflammation, remodelling and hyperreactivity in both lean and obese mice. Obese allergic mice showed increased lung tissue eotaxin levels, airway tissue eosinophilia and AHR when compared to lean allergic mice. MitoQ reduced markers of airway inflammation, remodelling and hyperreactivity in both lean and obese allergic mice, and tissue eosinophilia in obeseHDM mice. mROS regulates cell signalling by protein oxidation of multiple downstream targets: MitoQ reduced HDM-induced cysteine-sulfenylation of several proteins including those involved in the unfolded protein response (UPR). In summary, mROS mediates the development of allergic airway disease and hence MitoQ might be effective for the treatment for asthma, and specific features of obese asthma.

Sex-specific programming effects of parental obesity in pre-implantation embryonic development_Microarray data on blastocyst transcriptomes

Project description:Obesity is a global rising problem with epidemiological dimension. Obese parents can have programming effects on their offspring leading to obesity and associated diseases in later life. This constitutes a vicious circle. Epidemiological data and studies in rodents demonstrated differential programming effects in male and female offspring, but the timing of their developmental origin is not known. This study investigated if sex-specific programming effects of parental obesity can already be detected in the pre-implantation period. Diet induced obese male or female mice were mated with normal-weight partners and blastocysts were recovered. Gene expression profiling revealed sex-specific responses of the blastocyst transcriptome to maternal and paternal obesity. The changes in the transcriptome of male blastocysts were more pronounced than those of female blastocysts, with a stronger impact of paternal than of maternal obesity. The sperm of obese mice revealed an increased abundance of several miRNAs compared to lean mice. Our study indicates that sex-specific programming effects of parental obesity already start in the pre‑implantation period and reveals specific alterations of the sperm miRNA profile as mechanistic link to programming effects of paternal obesity. We used microarrays to analyze the transcriptomes of sex-sorted blastocysts of mice, with one parent (either mother or father) being obese at the time of conception and compared it to the transcriptome of blasocysts of peri-conceptionally lean parents.

A Time Course Analysis of the Effects of Prieurianin in the mouse preadipocytes 3T3-L1 cells

Project description:Gene expression profiling to examine the effets of prieurianin in a time-course study (0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 9, 12, 15, 24, 36, 48, 96, 144, 192, 240, and 288 hrs) on the differentiation of the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes into adipocytes. The sharp rise in the incidence of obesity in the last two decades has become one of the most serious public health risks worldwide. Currently approved therapies for obesity exhibit modest efficacy and limiting side effects. We show here that prieurianin, a limonoid, causes weight loss by reducing energy intake in morbidly obese mice and in mice on high-calorie diet. Prieurianin is also anti-adipogenic by inhibiting the proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes into adipocytes, and induces either dedifferentiation or delipidation of mature adipocytes. Gene expression profiling shows that prieurianin suppresses the expression of genes involved in fat metabolism, and increases the expression of a transcription repressor, zinc finger protein 68 (Zfp68), which inhibits CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins (C/EBPs) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), master transcriptional regulators of adipogenesis. The effects of prieurianin are reminiscent of several cytokines that regulate appetite and adipogenesis, and holds promise as an effective anti-obesity drug. Keywords: Time course, prieurianin, obesity, differentiation, adipogenesis, preadipocytes, adipocytes, Zfp68
